£6.4 to encourage the public to use the internet more!
Have our Wychavon managers gone crackers?
This money could put to better use in a variety of ways.
Those that approved this expenditure should be sacked.

What a waste of money to spend encouraging people to use the internet more. Unbelievable, whoever comes up with these ideas. Also hope there will be plenty of parking at the Technology Park otherwise the streets around there will be clogged.

Correction :-
it is Worcestershire county council who intend to spend £6.4 million on the internet.
They have totally lost the plot.

They're spending all that money to encourage people to use the Internet as a point of contact with the council so they can sack all their staff who currently do that terribly unfashionable task of directly providing services to the tax payer. This is a Tory administration, they're only spending money so they can make greater cuts elsewhere. It'll take all those employees off the council's books so they can show the government how loyal they are to Osborne's bonkers austerity experiment and shift the burden to the Department of Work and Pensions who will then have to pay their unemployment benefits. It'll be a bigger cost in the long run to the state, but that's Tory doctrine for you.

6.4 million. Now is it me or would that amount be worth about 3 years funding for public transport at current levels over and above the money "found" from September. Like the county council don't have anything online? The services provided online through all the council's seem pretty adequate to me. Pay for stuff, report road and lighting issues, tax, rates, planning etc etc all there. So please then justify why this is going to be good value.

Let's have a breakdown of the figures for this £6.5M spend on internet encouragement. There certainly doesn't appear to be any justification for this spending, unless they are giving free IP use to all of us! Better transport links is what's required around Worcester.

The headline must have a spelling mistake in it. I'm sure it should say "Daft new council spending plans revealed"

£6.4million on the internet!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yet another load of incompetant management by this Tory mob,
I see
Councillor Simon Geraghty, deputy leader and cabinet member for economy, skills and infrastructure has reared his head again after being shot to blazes over his last load of lies he issued, cant wait to vote him out.
